"I don’t recommend this hotel. Our room had zero ventilation so it got very hot and stuffy at night. There was no fan or ac so it was hard to sleep. There was zero housekeeping and when I needed items like toilet paper or a towel I had to find someone at the front desk - most of the time staff was no where to be found and the front desk was unattended. The hot water in the shower cut off halfway through my shower twice. The most upsetting thing was that we booked this hotel based on the fact it...

Top El Cafetal Hotel Reviews

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This place was just lovely. We loved the Monteverde region. A gem and often overlooked for the nearby La Fortuna/Arenal region. The staff here was attentive and incredibly friendly. The place had a grown up hostal vibe. Cannot recommend Camino Verde enough!"

Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Valle Escondido. Our room was very clean and the view was great. We got to see a lot of wildlife right by the building we were in because the resort was less busy in the rainy season, and we got lucky with the weather. We really enjoyed our night hike on the trails on the property - only wish it were longer! Overall, a great stay. Food was good although variety is a bit limited in the off season."

Monteverde Lodge by Böëna

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful property and setting."

Indigo Casa - 2BD + balcony view with lots of nature

10/10 Excellent

"Finca Indigo was one of the best parts of our entire trip to Costa Rica, and we cannot recommend it enough. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful plants everywhere, trails to explore, and a creek running through the property. The house itself was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed.Our main goal for this trip was birding, and we were blown away by how many species we saw without even leaving Finca Indigo. Some of our favorite memories were watching parakeets and toucans in the trees right around the house. There are also fascinating artifacts found right on the property, including pottery and tools from the Indigenous people who once lived there.Derek was an incredible host. He is kind, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about the area, birds, wildlife, and plants. He gave us great recommendations and was always happy to help us identify something we had found. He, his two incredibly sweet dogs, and his cat made us feel completely at home. We often ended our nights hanging out together, grilling, making smoothies, or telling stories. At the same time, Derek never felt intrusive at all. We simply enjoyed his company so much that we kept inviting him to join us!Monteverde is only about a 20 minute drive away, but honestly, we could have happily spent much of our trip just enjoying Finca Indigo. We already miss it and are hoping to come back someday. It was everything we could have asked for and more."

Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge

10/10 Excellent

"My family loved this property. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were wonderful and kind. We love the dogs on the property and my kids played with the dogs."

Glampling Nubes de Monteverde

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons adoré dormir à ce dôme. Le lit, les oreillés, les draps et douillette tout était très confortable. Les draps et douillette était tellement doux. Je crois que s'était en cotton Egyptien. Le déjeuner qui était inclus était vraiment bon et une très grosse portion. Le café cultivé et préparé sur place était délicieux. Un vrai bon café du Costa rica. Nous avions le wifi dans notre dôme qui fonctionnait parfaitement. Nous avons apprécié également la douche chaude. S'était un très bel endroit propre, confortable pour se détendre dans le cloud forest et observer les oiseaux. Seul point à amélioré: il serait apprécié en bas de la côte qu'il y ai une publicité pour les dômes. Je ne trouvais pas le chemin car s'est seulement rendu dans le haut de la côte qu'on voit qu'on doit tourner à gauche. Rendu à gauche on peut appercevoir la publicité pour les dôme. Mon gps perdait le signal. J'ai eu la chance que quelqu'un passe en 4 roues et qui connaissait la région mais s'est le seul point négatif. Je garde de très bon souvenirs de Monteverde et son magnifique dôme. Le personnel était très aimable et chaleureux. Pura vida."
